Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hydraulic system, comprising a hydraulic apparatus and a group of hydraulic lines which are connected or can be connected to the hydraulic apparatus, which group comprises at least a first and a second line, the apparatus having a housing on which a first and second connecting member are fitted, for connecting the first and the second line respectively, and the first and the second line being provided with a first and a second insertion fitting respectively.
  • each connecting member has a body with an insertion bore for an insertion fitting, which insertion bore extends from an insertion side, each connecting member further comprising an elastic locking member which is active at a distance from the insertion side of the insertion bore.
  • Each insertion fitting is provided with a locking formation with which the elastic locking member engages automatically when the insertion fitting is inserted into the corresponding connecting member.
  • Such a known system is used in, for example, a hydraulic tilting device for tilting a cab of a vehicle, for example for the purpose of permitting maintenance on a vehicle engine disposed underneath the cab.
  • a pump/reservoir unit connected by means of hydraulic hoses to the tilting cylinder is used.
  • a pair of hoses leading to the piston rod side and bottom side connections respectively is used.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 3,170,677 discloses a hydraulic system with rapid-action couplings.
  • the couplings have coding parts which ensure that when the lines are being fitted, the lines cannot be switched by mistake.
  • the object of the invention is to propose an improved system, alleviating one or more of the cited drawbacks, which is advantageous particularly for use in a hydraulic cab tilting device or other drive of a movable vehicle part.
  • the invention provides a hydraulic system according to claim 1 , wherein the coding part of each connecting member is formed by a part of the insertion bore of said connecting member between the insertion side and the locking member.
  • each connecting member is thus obtained by suitable design of a part of the insertion bore. This allows for a simpler design than in U.S. Pat. No. 3,170,677, lower costs (easier manufacture) and requires less space.
  • the system ensures that when the lines are being fitted, for example during the assembly of the vehicle (and possibly in the case of subsequent repairs and the like) the lines cannot be switched by mistake.
  • the invention provides in particular the possibility of disposing the hydraulic apparatus concerned in the vehicle in a position that is such that the corresponding connecting members—or their insertion bores—are not easily visible or are not visible at all for the mechanic.
  • the coding enables the mechanic to work “by feel” without running the risk of switching the lines by mistake in the process.
  • system according to the invention can also be used in, for example, other situations in the automotive industry where a high production speed is desired, for example in the case of hydraulic control devices for movable roofs, such as folding roofs and retractable hard-top roofs, and for tailgates, engine bonnets, doors etc. of a motor vehicle.
  • each coding part is a substantially cylindrical part of the insertion bore of the connecting member, the diameter of the coding part of the first connecting member being smaller than that of the second connecting member, and for the length of the coding part of the first connecting member to be less than the length of the coding part of the second connecting member, the first insertion fitting having an insertion stop which is at a distance from the locking formation that is greater than the length of the coding part of the first connecting member and is less than the length of the coding part of the second connecting member, which first insertion stop has a greater diameter than that of the coding part of the second insertion member.
  • This embodiment is technically easy to achieve and is advantageous for fitting of the line on the connecting member, since the insertion fitting does not have to be held in a particular position relative to the connecting member.
  • FIG. 1 shows in cross section a preferred embodiment of the system according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 part of the housing 1 of a hydraulic apparatus can be seen, for example an electrically driven pump of a cab tilting device for tilting a vehicle cab.
  • first insertion fitting 20 and a second insertion fitting 40 can also be seen, each essentially tubular and having an internal channel for the passage of hydraulic fluid.
  • each of said fittings 20 , 40 here is provided on one end with a hose pillar 21 , 41 for the connection to said pillars of a first and second hydraulic line (not shown) respectively, in particular hydraulic hoses.
  • the fittings are of an angled design, e.g having a pillar at 90 degrees angle.
  • the method of attaching the hydraulic hoses to the insertion fitting can be performed in many ways.
  • the lines can be in the form of metal pipes.
  • the housing 1 of the hydraulic apparatus has a connection side 2 , where two bores 3 , 4 are provided next to each other, in which bores a first connecting member 30 and a second connecting member 50 are fixed.
  • the bores 3 , 4 are of a stepped design, with a first part 3 a , 4 a for accommodation of the connecting members 30 , 50 , and a second part 3 b , 4 b lying lower down, which in turn connects to a hydraulic duct 5 , 6 in the housing 1 .
  • the second parts 3 b , 4 b have a smaller diameter than the first parts 3 a , 4 a of the bores 3 , 4 , so that a shoulder face 3 c , 4 c is formed in each case on the transition, against which shoulder face the connecting member 30 , 50 rests.
  • the bore parts 3 a , 4 a are provided with screw thread, as are the connecting members 30 , 50 , the connecting members being provided with parallel key faces for screwing the connecting member into the bore with a key.
  • Each of the connecting members 30 , 50 has a body with an insertion bore 32 , 52 extending from an insertion side 31 , 51 for receiving the corresponding insertion fitting 20 , 40 therein.
  • each connecting member 30 , 50 extends through the body to an outlet opening 34 , 54 situated in a rear side 33 , 53 of the connecting member.
  • each insertion fitting 20 , 40 has an end part 22 , 42 which projects through the outlet opening 34 , 54 into the second part of the bore.
  • the bore parts 3 b , 4 b have a greater diameter than the diameter of the outlet opening, a sealing ring 60 being disposed in the bore 3 b , 4 b against the rear side 33 , 53 of the connecting member, which sealing ring 60 produces a seal on the end part 22 , 42 of the insertion fitting 20 , 40 projecting through the opening.
  • Each of the connecting members 30 , 50 has an elastic locking member 35 , 55 , for example a spring steel clip that is active at a distance from the insertion side of the insertion bore 32 , 52 . Furthermore, each insertion fitting 20 , 40 is provided with a locking formation, here a circular locking groove 25 , 45 , with which the elastic locking member 35 , 55 engages automatically when the insertion fitting 20 , 40 is inserted into the corresponding connecting member 30 , 50 . In this way the insertion fitting is locked in the connecting member.
  • each connecting member 30 , 50 has an annular face 36 , 56 , which in the fitted state connects to the connection side 2 of the hydraulic apparatus 1 , the elastic locking member 35 , 55 lying on the inside relative to said annular face 36 , 56 .
  • This means that the locking member is inaccessible when the insertion fitting is fitted.
  • the connection obtained can be disconnected only by unscrewing the connecting member from the housing 1 .
  • the insertion fittings 20 , 40 have behind the end part, which is substantially cylindrical here, a conical part 27 , 47 with a diameter increasing in the direction away from the end part, the locking groove 25 , 45 being formed behind the conical part 27 , 47 .
  • each connecting member 30 , 50 the part of the insertion bore extending between the insertion side and the locking member forms a coding part 37 , 57 , into which a corresponding coding part of the insertion fitting 20 , 40 concerned fits.
  • the coding part of each connecting member projects outwards relative to the corresponding annular face.
  • the coding part 37 of the first connecting member 30 in this case differs from the coding part 57 of the second connecting member 50 . Since the coding parts of the insertion fittings 20 , 40 are also matched to the corresponding connecting member 30 , 50 , it is ensured that the first and second insertion fittings can be inserted in a locking manner only into the corresponding first or second connecting member respectively. Switching the lines relative to the connecting member by mistake is consequently impossible.
  • each coding part 37 , 57 is substantially cylindrical, the diameter of the coding part 37 of the first connecting member 30 being smaller than that of the coding part 57 of the second connecting member 50 .
  • the length of the coding part 37 of the first connecting member 30 is also less than the length of the coding part 57 of the second connecting member 50 , the first insertion fitting 20 having an insertion stop 28 , which is at a distance from the locking groove 25 that is greater than the length of the coding part 37 of the first connecting member 30 and is less than the length of the coding part 57 of the second connecting member 50 .
  • Said first insertion stop 28 has a diameter which is larger than that of the coding part 57 of the second insertion member 50 . In this way switching the insertion fittings relative to the connecting members 30 , 50 by mistake is impossible.
  • the insertion stop 28 in this example is formed by an outwardly projecting peripheral rib, to be fitted here by a clamping ring in a shallow peripheral groove.
  • each hose connection to have a valve member 70 , 80 , which serves as a throttle that switches on and off automatically in the hydraulic circuit (for example of a hydraulic cab tilting device).
  • FIG. 1 shows an attractive solution for achieving this functionality.
  • valve members 70 , 80 are each slidably guided relative to the end part 22 , 42 projecting into the bore 3 b , 4 b , here because the valve member 70 , 80 has an annular wall 71 , 81 which fits in a sliding fit around the end part 21 , 41 .
  • Each valve member further has an end wall 72 , 82 , which is of a closed design here, leaving clear one or more gaps 73 , 83 relative to the bore 3 b , 4 b.
  • One or more transverse bores are formed in each annular wall 71 , 81 , in this case two transverse bores 74 a , 74 b and 84 a , 84 b , of differing diameters.
  • valve members 70 , 80 means that under the influence of hydraulic fluid flow from the line to the apparatus each valve member can be moved from a first position to a second position, and vice versa.
  • FIG. 1 shows that in the case of connecting member 30 hydraulic fluid flows from the line to the apparatus 1 , so that the valve member slides and in this case comes to rest against a shoulder 3 d formed by the bore 3 b .
  • one or more gaps 73 remain open between the valve member 70 and the bore 3 b , these gaps being sufficiently large to permit an unthrottled flow of fluid.
  • the two transverse bores 74 a , 74 b are also open now, since there is no overlap with the end part 22 .
  • the insertion fittings are substantially tubular with a central duct for the hydraulic fluid and a rotationally symmetrical external periphery over their full length. This is advantageous for production.
  • the rotationally symmetrical design of the insertion bore, in combination with a rotationally symmetrical design of the part of the insertion fitting to be inserted into it, is also advantageous, partly because the position of the insertion fitting relative to the connecting member is not important now.
